[Intro] Em [Verse 1]
Em               Bm                               Em
Car stopped in a clearing, ribbon of life, it was nearing

G                   A                   Bm                    Em
I saw the boy break out of his skin, my heart turned over and I crawled in
[Chorus]
           A                            G
He cried, "Break it up, oh I don't understand

A              D
Break it up, I can't comprehend

A                          G
Break it up, oh, I want to feel you

A            D                     Bm           Em
Break it up, don't talk to me that way, I'm not listening"
[Verse 2]
Em           Bm                              Em
Snow started falling, I could hear the angel calling

   G                        A
We rolled on the ground, he stretched out his wings

    Bm                   Em
The boy flew away and he started to sing
[Chorus]
          A                             G
He sang, "Break it up, oh, I don't understand

A              D
Break it up, I can't comprehend

A                          G
Break it up, oh, I want to feel you

A            D
Break it up, don't look at me"
[Bridge 1]
    Bm      C           D        Em           Bm
The sky was raging, the boy disappeared and I fell on my knees

C          D             F#                C    Am         Em
Atmosphere broke up, the boy reappeared, I cried, "Take me please"
[Verse 3]
Em          Bm                                     Em
Ice, it was shining, I could feel my heart, it was melting

  G                      A
I tore off my clothes, I danced on my shoes

  Bm                      Em           G
I ripped my skin open and then I broke through
[Chorus]
          A                           G
I cried, "Break it up, oh, now I understand

A                D
Break it up, and I want to go

A                              G
Break it up, oh please take me with you

A                  D
Break it up, I can feel it breaking
[Bridge 2]
      Bm
I can feel it breaking, I can feel it breaking

      Em
I can feel, I can feel, I can feel, I can feel."
[Chorus]
    A                              G
So, break it up, oh now I'm coming with you

A                D
Break it up, now I'm gonna go

A                             G
Break it up, oh, feel me, I'm coming

A                        G
Break it up, break it up, break it up
[Outro]
A          D
Break it up

A          G
Break it up

A          D
Break it up

A          G
Break it up

A          D
Break it up

A          G
Break it up

A          D
Break it up...
